Anyone know what this is?

It looks like some sort of catapult.  It is very large.  I wonder about it every time I see it, and would love to know what it is and what it is used for.

Tonight’s big, tomorrow’s bigger

On Wednesday, you could get to nearly every live show in Gloucester if you scheduled it right (as I pointed out in this post).  That’s probably not gonna work this weekend, ergo, you’re just gonna have to choose.  Not an easy task, so take a look at the live music lineup and start talking with your friends now, so you’re not arguing at the last minute.

Tomorrow you’ve got choices all over the Cape from opera to ska and every genre in between in Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Essex and Hamilton.  Whew!  What a way to start off the new month.  Music is listed here, but  before most of the evening music starts, bop down to Rocky Neck for the Art Colony’s opening reception at their Cultural Center.

I’m not even gonna talk about Sunday right now, but Dog Bar and Rhumb Line are featuring two of my favorites.  Have a look:

as we celebrate
this season of Present.

271 Main St.  Gloucester

Come on out tomorrow night, Thursday the 29th, to celebrate my opening at Alchemy!

If you’ve been to an art opening at Alchemy, you know they do it up with style.  Add to that a Bully Boy Distilleries release party for their new aged whiskey (their vodka, rum and white whiskey will also be there), and you have all the makings for a fun evening at a great spot.  Hope to see a bunch of GMG peeps and FOBs there – it will be like a Mug Up with alcohol, and not on a Sunday morning for those who could never come because they were at church or didn’t get up that early on Sunday morning.  Feel free to bring a friend.  Thursday, November 29th 5:30-7:30 at Alchemy Cafe and Bistro, 3 Duncan Street, Gloucester.

Dave says,

We’re shifting into high gear this month to counter-attack the onslaught of the xmas holidaze. I’ve got some really great goodies for your mental stocking, so swallow your Prozac® and pop your clutch. Let’s get goin’!

This Thursday welcome back Ms. Lisa Marie, that knuckle bustin’ jet engine of the blues and beyond. She’s gonna rattle your cage with the finest of unhealable deep-cut  tunes to make you wriggle with joy. She’ll be backed up by the inimitable rhythm section of Mr. John Cameron, pinky wiggler, on keys, Mr. Larry, “Lawrence of Ipswich”, on Gootar and vocals, Mr. Andrew “andydextrous” Jones, on eggbeaters, and myself, on bass. Where else would you go??

I’ll be there.  Hope to you see you.  MAC puts on a great holiday fair.  They are also having an open house that day, so can come to the holiday fair, work out, take a group exercise class, go for a swim, or even sit in the hot tub!  What better way to do some holiday shopping and do something great for yourself.  They also have a great cafeteria for lunch.  What more could you ask for?

Stuff I Don’t Get- Why PC Laptop Cords Need the Awkward Two Piece Power Brick Thingie

image

In this day and age they haven’t figured out how to streamline the whole cord set-up? If you’re traveling with a laptop obviously you want to travel light. The bulky cord set-up just seems like a no-brainer for streamlining to make more user friendly. What computer guru knows the reason for the bulky brick?
